Answer:
Closer to 0 than 0.5, or under zero
Step-by-step explanation:
On a vertical number line, anything above zero is positive, and anything under zero is negative. If 0.5 is the greater number, then it has to be closer to zero, or under it.
A^2+b^2=c^2
24^2+b^2=26^2
576+b^2=676
-576. -576
b^2=100
When an answer to a question uses the greater than symbol, that means any number above the number used is a possible answer to the equation. However, when it's just a simple "x = 2", then 2 is the only possible answer to that equation. Think about it as if it were on a graph. In the attached file I have a graph that is displaying the equation "x > 4". The entire shaded area to the right of 4 could be a possible answer.
Hope this helps.
